Chief urges skill training organizations to help ambitious kids gain skills.

The Regent of Ashaiman, Nii Annang Adzor II, is pushing the Ghana Mastercraft and Artizans Association to position itself and admit any young people interested in learning trades to equip them with skills that will benefit them and the country as a whole. 

The Ashaiman Regent made the statement during a graduation ceremony for 35 young girls who had received cosmetics and auxiliary techniques instruction at Zenu in the Greater Accra Region's Kpone-Katamansu Municipality.

The nine-day course, organized by Power Minds Youth Ghana, a youth and female empowerment organization, aims to equip young females who want to study a vocation in the cosmetology business but don't have the financial means to do so. 

Nii Annang Adzor II stated that a lack of formal education does not imply incompetence, and urged the youth to pursue skill development to improve themselves. 

The Ashaiman Regent, who voiced discontent with the quick money syndrome among the youth in light of this, urged the Mastercraft, Artizan Association of Ghana to readily position themselves to admit such youngsters, as well as religious institutions to encourage young people to study trades. 

Benedicta Vandyke, the Executive Director of Power Minds Youth Ghana, discusses how her motivation for the effort derives from a buddy who wanted to pursue cosmetology but had the financial means to do so. 

Grace Barnes, a young hairdresser who was struck down and left paralyzed by a vehicle a few years ago, has been addressing Accra-based television station XYZ NEWS about the enormous benefits of the free training program.
